Just in Time

from Leaving the Land of Before by Sara Ayers

/

lyrics

on the safest of days the warm surf
scooped you up and roiled you about
for what seemed like hours
but then you heard a voice from far away and
just in time
a hand reached out
a stranger pulled you back from the waves
and you did not drown on that day
perhaps there is love in the world

on the right side of the wrong highway
along the long yellow lines
a life careening,
those headlights are wrong
you yelled and swerved and dodged them
just in time
you later learned that was the moment she died
her spirit passing over the land might have lent a hand
perhaps there is love in the world

maybe you walked on the ledge
and examined the edge
lost in your private landscape
but maybe you found a means of escape
and maybe you found it
just in time
perhaps a spirit's whisper
perhaps a stranger's hand
perhaps there is love in this world

"This is music to conjure lofty dreams of perfect love, to tell trans-galactic science-fiction epics, to examine the inside of a grain of sand." -- Michael Hochanadel, The Schenectady Gazette
